HTML Rendering Crashes IE

Posted by michael on from the tough-job dept.

SlimySlimy writes "According to this article on Secunia, a new IE exploit was found that crashes almost any version of Internet Explorer past 4.0 with just 5 lines of plain HTML code (no JavaScript, ActiveX, etc.). If you're very brave, you can test/crash your IE by going here." There's also a note on SecurityFocus.

    To enforce web standards. Just have the browser crash when the code isn't up to the standards.
